Metaplanet Doubles Down on Bitcoin with New U.S. Treasury Subsidiary
Metaplanet, based in Tokyo, is further strengthening its bitcoin-focused treasury operations by establishing Metaplanet Treasury Corp. in Florida. This new subsidiary will hold up to $250 million, reinforcing Metaplanet’s strategy as the largest public bitcoin holder in Asia.
The Florida-based subsidiary will provide Metaplanet with an enhanced presence in the U.S. financial market, facilitating seamless operations across global time zones and expanding access to institutional capital. Florida was selected due to its growing role as a hub for Bitcoin innovation and corporate adoption.
Metaplanet CEO Simon Gerovich stated, “Florida is quickly becoming a global leader in Bitcoin innovation, corporate adoption, and financial liberalization,” reflecting the company’s belief in the state’s evolving role in the crypto ecosystem.
This move follows a series of bitcoin purchases by Metaplanet, including a recent acquisition of 145 BTC, bringing its total holdings to 5,000 BTC. The firm’s strategy now closely mirrors that of Strategy (MSTR), a U.S. business intelligence firm that has centered its identity around large-scale BTC investments.
